LETTER FROM THE BOARD

1. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 19 August 2009, ordinary resolutions were passed granting general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with up to 2,056,900,240 new Original Shares, being 20% of the issued share capital of the company as at 19 August 2009. As set out in the announcement of the Company dated 1 February 2010 and 22 February 2010, a total of 2,000,000,000 new Original Shares have been allotted and issued pursuant to the general mandate granted at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 19 August 2009. The general mandate has been utilized approximately 97.23%.

At the extraordinary general meeting held on 9 April 2010, the Shareholders approved, among other things, the grant of a refreshed general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with 224,636,612 new Existing Shares, representing 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of extraordinary general meeting held on 9 April 2010. As at the latest practicable date, no shares were allot, issue in accordance with the refreshed general mandate. The unutilized refreshed general mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

Two ordinary resolutions, as set out in the notice of the AGM, will therefore be proposed for the following purposes:—

Ordinary Resolution no. 4 — to grant to the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution; and

Ordinary Resolution no. 6 — to increase the aggregate nominal amount of share capital of the Company which the Directors may issue under the general mandate if given in the Ordinary Resolution no. 4 by the aggregate nominal amount of share capital of the Company repurchased under the general mandate if given in the Ordinary Resolution no. 5.

These General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will expire on the earliest of (a) the date of the next annual general meeting; (b) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or by the Articles of Association; or (c) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

The Company had 1,338,663,060 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. Subject to the passing of the aforesaid Ordinary Resolution no. 4 and in accordance with the terms therein, the Company would be allowed to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares up to the aggregate nominal amount of a maximum of 267,732,612 Shares on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

The Ordinary Resolution no. 5 as set out in the notice of the AGM will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase the Company’s fully paid up Shares representing up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution.

The Listing Rules contain provisions to regulate the repurchase by companies with primary listings on the Stock Exchange of their own securities on the Stock Exchange.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, Appendix I to this circular serves as the explanatory statement, to provide you with the requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution for granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

3. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will also be proposed to approve, the re-election of retiring Directors.

Pursuant to Article 86(3) of the Articles of Association, Mr. Shin Min Chul will hold office only until the AGM and is then eligible for re-election. Pursuant to Article 87 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Liew Swee Yean and Mr. Tam Tak Wah shall retire by rotation in the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

Particulars of the aforesaid Directors are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company pursuant to the resolution of the Company on 19 October 2002. The Scheme Mandate Limit was set at 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme in compliance with the Listing Rules. Subject to prior Shareholders’ approval, the Company may, at any time thereafter, refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit to the extent not exceeding 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the aforesaid Shareholders’ approval.

The Scheme Mandate Limit was refreshed on the annual general meeting held on 31 August 2007, 15 August 2008 and 20 July 2009 for a 10% of the then total issued share capital of the Company. Pursuant to which the Company was authorized to grant Options to subscribe for up to a maximum number of 195,699,720 Shares, 283,750,120 Shares and 1,028,450,120 Shares respectively.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate number of Options granted by the Company under the Share Option Scheme since its adoption was 441,620,000 of which 273,972,000 were exercised, 50,288,000 were cancelled or lapsed and 117,360,000 Options remained outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date. As a result of Share Consolidation, the outstanding Options were adjusted to 5,868,000, representing approximately 0.44% of the existing issued share capital of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue is 1,338,663,060 Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and in compliance with the Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares, which may be issued upon the exercise of all the Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed should be 133,866,306 Shares (assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the AGM).

It is proposed that subject to the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit and the passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM by the Shareholders, the Scheme Mandate Limit be refreshed so that the total number of securities, which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed, shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the proposed Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders at the AGM. Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme (including without limitation those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the Share Option Scheme) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme at any time should not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time. No options shall be granted under any scheme(s) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries if this will result in the 30% limit being exceeded.

Conditions of the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit

The proposed Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  1. the passing of the necessary ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM to approve the proposed Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; and

  2. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options to be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options to be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit

The proposed Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit will enable the Company to grant further Options to Eligible Participants so as to provide opportunities and incentives to them to work towards enhancing the values of the Company and the Shares for the benefit of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

5. PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

In the announcement of the Company dated 2 July 2010, the Board announced that the Company proposes to implement the Capital Reorganisation, pursuant to which (i) the issued share capital of the Company will be reduced by HK$0.19 per Existing Share by cancelling an equivalent amount of paid-up capital per Existing Share so that the par value of each New Share in issue will be HK$0.01 and the relevant amount of issued capital hereby cancelled be made available for issue of New Shares; and (ii) each of the unissued Shares in the existing authorised but unissued share capital of the Company shall be sub-divided into 20 New Shares of a nominal value of HK$0.01 each.

Effects of the Capital Reorganisation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company amounted to HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Existing Shares, of which 1,338,663,060 Existing Shares had been allotted and issued as fully paid.

Since the amount of issued capital hereby cancelled will be made available for issuance of New Shares, the authorised share capital of the Company remains in value of HK$1,000,000,000. Immediately upon the Capital Reorganisation taking effect, and assuming that the Company does not allot or issue or repurchase any further Existing Shares prior thereto, the authorised share capital of the Company shall be HK$1,000,000,000 comprising 100,000,000,000 New Shares. The Company’s issued share capital shall be HK$13,386,630.6 comprising 1,338,663,060 New Shares, each with a par value of HK$0.01. A credit of approximately HK$254,345,981 will arise in the books of the Company as a result of the Capital Reduction.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are the First Convertible Notes in the outstanding principal amount of US$33 million. Assuming there is an immediate exercise in full of the conversion rights attaching to the First Convertible Notes at the conversion price of HK$0.8 per Existing Share by all holders of the First Convertible Notes, an additional of 321,750,000 new Existing Shares would be issued by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the First Convertible Notes (assuming no adjustment has been made) and an additional credit of HK$61,132,500 would arise in the books of the Company as a result of the Capital Reduction. The Capital Reduction will not have any effect on the conversion price or the number of New Shares which fall to be issued upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the First Convertible Notes.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In additional to the First Convertible Notes, the Second Convertible Notes in the principal amount of US$32 million are to be issued upon the fulfillment of certain conditions as described in the circular of the Company dated 19 January 2010. Assuming the Second Convertible Notes will not be issued before the Capital Reorganisation, the Capital Reduction will not have any effect on the Second Convertible Notes. But if the Second Convertible Notes were issued before the Capital Reduction and there were an immediate exercise in full of the conversion rights attaching to the Second Convertible Notes by all holders of the Second Convertible Notes, based on the adjusted conversion price of HK$0.8 per Existing Share after the consolidation of the shares of the Company approved by the Shareholders on 9 April 2010, an additional 312,000,000 new Existing Shares would be issued by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Second Convertible Notes and an additional credit of HK$59,280,000 would arise in the books of the Company as a result of the Capital Reduction.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has 5,868,000 outstanding Options granted under the Share Option Scheme. Assuming there is an immediate exercise in full of subscription rights attaching to the Options by the holders thereof, an additional 5,868,000 new Existing Shares would be issued by the Company and an additional credit of HK$1,114,920 would arise in the books of the Company as a result of the Capital Reduction. The Capital Reduction will not have any effect on the exercise price or the number of New Shares which fall to be issued upon exercise of the Options.

An independent financial adviser or the auditor of the Company will be engaged by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme and the Convertible Notes to certify in writing as to the adjustments (if any) required to be made in respect of the outstanding Options, outstanding First Convertible Notes and the unissued Second Convertible Notes as a result of the Capital Reduction. The Company will make a further announcement about the adjustments in due course. Save as aforesaid, the Company has no other outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants in issue which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Subject to the approval of and to the extent permitted by the Court, all the total credit of HK$254,345,981 arising from the Capital Reduction will be utilised to offset the accumulated losses of the Company. The accumulated losses of the Company as at 31 March 2010 was about HK$563,532,000.

The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 10,000 Shares. Upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the board lots of the New Shares will remain unchanged and will be traded in the board lots of 10,000 New Shares.

Save for the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Capital Reorganisation, the Capital Reorganisation will not, by itself, have any effect on the underlying assets, business operations, management of financial positions of the Company and of the Group, non the proportionate interest of the Shareholders in the Company.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for the Capital Reorganisation

The main purpose for implementing the Capital Reorganisation is to lower the nominal value of the Existing Shares. Under the Companies Law, a company may not issue shares at a discount to the par value of such shares unless, among other things, the issue of shares is authorised by a resolution of the shareholders of a company and is sanctioned by the Court. The Capital Reorganisation allows the Company to better respond to the market situations in conducting capital raising exercises, including but not limited to the issue of New Shares, by providing greater flexibility to the Company in pricing future capital raising exercises and to issue Shares at discount timely without going through various statutory requirements.

The credit arising from the Capital Reduction will enable the Company to partially offset the accumulated losses of the Company. As a result of such offset of accumulated losses, the Company’s capital and reserves will more closely reflect the available net assets of the Company and would give the Company a capital structure that should, subject to performance, permit the payment of dividends as and when the Directors consider it appropriate in the future.

Status of the New Shares

The New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the Capital Reorganisation will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation

The implementation of the Capital Reorganisation and the listing of the New Shares are conditional upon:

  • (1) the passing of the relevant resolution(s) by the Shareholders at the AGM to approve the Capital Reorganisation;

  • (2) an order being made by the Court confirming the Capital Reorganisation;

  • (3) the registration by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands of a copy of the Court order and the minute approving by the Court pursuant to the Companies Law;

  • (4) compliance with any conditions which the Court may impose; and

  • (5) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares.

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the New Shares. Save as the Stock Exchange, the Existing Shares are not, and the New Shares will not be, listed on any stock exchanges.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Expected effective date of the Capital Reorganisation

Upon the conditions mentioned above being fulfilled, the Capital Reorganisation and the listing of the New Shares will become effective immediately after the registration of the court order and the minute referred to in condition (3) above.

Free exchange of certificates

Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, Shareholders may, on or after 18 October 2010 and until 4:30 p.m. on 18 November 2010 (both dates inclusive), submit their existing certificates for the Existing Shares in peach colour to the Registrar to exchange for certificates for the New Shares in beige colour at the expense of the Company. Thereafter, certificates for the Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.5 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) by the Shareholders for each certificate issued or cancelled, whichever is higher. Certificates for the Existing Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title but will cease to be valid for dealings, trading and settlement purpose and may be exchanged for certificates for the New Shares at any time in accordance with the foregoing.

6. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The notice of the AGM is set out on pages 20 to 24 of this circular.

A form of proxy for the AGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you propose to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return the same to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited at 26/F., Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong in accordance with the instructions printed thereon not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the AGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude you from subsequently attending and voting at the AGM or any adjournment thereof if you so wish.

7. LISTING RULES REQUIREMENT

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. The chairman of the meeting will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the AGM in accordance with the Articles of Association. The results of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting in which the poll was demanded or required and the poll results will be published on the websites of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (www.hkex.com.hk) and the Company (www.ilinkfin.net/siberian_mining) after the AGM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as the explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to Shareholders for their consideration as to whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM for the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:—

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had in issue aggregate of 1,338,663,060 Shares whichare fully paid.

Subject to the passing of the Ordinary Resolution no. 5 as set out in the notice of the AGM and in accordance with the terms therein, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase fully paid up Shares up to the aggregate nominal amount of a maximum of 133,866,306 Shares on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM.

REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing any securities of the Company, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders. Trading conditions on the Stock Exchange have sometimes been volatile. At any time in the future when securities trading at a discount to their underlying value, the ability of the Company to repurchase securities will be beneficial to those Shareholders who retain their investment in the Company since their interests in the assets of the Company would increase in proportion to the number of securities repurchased by the Company and thereby resulting in an increase in net asset value and/or earnings per share of the Company. Such repurchases will only be made when the Directors believe that the repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. Securities may only be repurchased out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of repurchase. The premium, if any, payable on repurchases must have been provided for out of the profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account before or at the time the securities are repurchased. The Company may not purchase securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

POSSIBLE MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2010) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

APPENDIX I

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of share repurchase by the Company, a substantial shareholder’s proportionate interest in voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, could, depending on the level of increase, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best of knowledge and belief of the Company, the following persons were directly or indirectly had an interest in 5% or more of the nominal value of the Shares that carry a right to vote in all circumstances at general meetings of the Company:—

Approximate
Number of percentage of
Name issued shares held shareholding
Cordia Global Limited_(Note a)_ 373,320,000 27.89%
Co An 116,550,000 8.71%

In the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase shares of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Ordinary Resolution no. 5 to be proposed at the AGM, the aforesaid interests of Cordia Global Limited and Co An in the Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date would be proportionally increased to approximately 30.99% and 9.67% respectively. In view of this, it would be expected that Cordia Global Limited would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code or if the repurchase would result in less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company being held in public hands. Save as above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is to be exercised in full.

Note a: Cordia Global Limited is wholly and beneficially owned by Mr. Choi Sungmin. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Choi Sungmin and Ms. Jung Mi Na, being wife of Mr. Choi Sungmin are deemed to be interested in the 373,320,000 Shares which Cordia Global Limited has beneficial interests in.

DIRECTORS’ DEALINGS

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates presently intends to sell Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate in the event that such mandate as proposed in the Ordinary Resolution no. 5 is approved by the Shareholders.

CONNECTED PERSONS

The Company has not been notified by any connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that such mandate as proposed in the Ordinary Resolution no. 5 is approved by the Shareholders.
